366 ROYAL COLLEGE OF VETERINARY SURGEONS. 
regards the three years’ students, the result was very satisfactory 
indeed.

The obituary notice was read. 
Mr. Fleming proposed the appointment of a small committee 
to consider a new form of register, the present one being, in his 
opinion, very defective. 
Mr. Collins thought that the same committee which drew out 
the present register might revise it also. 
The Secretary said that there would be a new committee 
appointed for the register in June next, when the committees for 
the year were appointed. 
Mr. Taylor pointed out that in the proposed supplemental 
Charter it was provided that the votes could be given either 
personally or by voting papers. He thought it would be a benefit 
to the College if every one were to vote by a voting paper only, 
as it would save trouble and turmoil at the annual meeting. 
The President said it was not too late to make any alteration. 
Mr. Taylor said that great inconvenience sometimes occurred 
when he was appointed scrutineer in consequence of his not being 
present in the room to vote on certain questions on which he 
intended specially to vote. He moved—“ That at all meetings 
of the said College all votes that are given for the election of 
the Council by members of the College must be given by 
voting papers in the form defined in the bye-laws of the said 
College, such papers to be transmitted under cover to the 
secretary of the said College not less than three clear days prior 
to the day on which the election is to take place.” 
Mr. Fray seconded the motion, which was carried. 
It was arranged that Mr. Loch be instructed to insert in place 
of Clause 3 in the Supplemental Charter one which would 
carry out the views expressed in the above resolution. 
Mr. Fleming presented to the Museum a sample of “ War- 
necke’s Horse Cakes,” which was, he said, very valuable as a 
feeding stuff for horses in the field. 
Fr. Voelcher presented a report on “ The Adulteration of 
Food,” and Professor Brown, the “Annual Report of the 
Veterinary Department of the Privy Council Office.” 
On the motion of Mr. Fray a vote of thanks was awarded for 
the presentations. 
The Secretary announced that Mr. Wm. Stanford Harrison, 
of Hertford, had forwarded by rail an interesting specimen of 
a “ calf’s head.”
